Travel,Journey,Islands

By Walter Bobo


For the most part of Bora Bora's hotel deals and island tours offered to their guest will take in a village visit. The villages that you can see all over Bora Bora symbolize the warm, rich and laid-back island life that everyone wants to have. Just thirty minutes from the airport in Tahiti, you can find the beautiful village of Vaitape; Vaitape is considered to be the main village in Bora Bora and it is always recommended that you visit this place.

If you want to experience a village visit that offers an old-world feel, go to Anau. This particular village of Bora Bora is located on the eastern portion of the island and also, the place is not visited by numerous tourists unlike the first two villages. It is recommended that you explore the village of Anau if you want to feel the beauty and charisma of the traditional Polynesian village. Ancient temples can be found here in this village. The village of Anau is one outstanding place where you can go snorkeling or try diving for the first time. A number of sea animals can be seen in this side of Bora Bora lagoon such as clown fishes, sea anemones, manta rays that are so big, moray eels, as well as sharks.

A public square and a dockside that is enormous can be found in Vaitape. Vaitape is the most ideal place where you can shop for anything that you want to have in this island of Bora Bora like their famed black pearls, the extensive variety of island handicrafts, and also clothing.

Another admired village you will see in Bora Bora is Faanui. Faanui is the village and also the name called for its bay situated on the northwestern shoreline of Bora Bora. Farenua is one amazing sight that you can see in Faanui, where the biggest marae is situated in Bora Bora. Marae is a holy place where one worships and another special feature of this place is the fact that it was built from stones. The green valley situated in Faanui is a must for your village visit and this visit is usually included on various safari explorations, and the highlight of this particular trip is the amazing view that you can have of the Faanui Bay when you reached the mountains.

Generally, nearly all hotels and good accommodations can be seen in Vaitape and this is also the place where ships and ferryboats dock. It is situated diagonally on the Teavanui Pass and you will notice that the one and only entrance is this Teavanui Pass to the famed Bora Bora Lagoon. You can also see the seat of their local government of Bora Bora in Vaitape.
